To double crochet, yarn over the hook, then insert the hook into the stitch and yarn over the hook again. Next, pull the yarn through the first stitch, and then yarn over again.

Continue to chain two and double crochet two into the center all the way around the circle. You should have a total of 16 double crochet stitches when you reach the end.

You will have two loose ends that you will need to work into the next round to hide them. To do this, lay them along the stitches that you will be working with next and then crochet around them.

Repeat this sequence all the way around the circle. When you reach the end, you should have eight scallops.
